Episode 31 - Jerad Gardner, MD - The Evolving Role of Social Media in Digital Pathology
One of the many features of digital pathology is the capacity for increased connectivity among and between pathologists and the ability to share and collaborate on images and cases. This lends itself very nicely to the use of social media. We will examine the way pathologists use YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and other platforms including pathology specific ones such as PathPresenter and KIKO.
We will look at how, in the past 10 years, social media has evolved and helped shape the practice, discuss how social media will continue to enhance the field of pathology as well as the careers of individual pathologists.

Episode 28 - Anil Parwani, MD, PhD, MBA - Connecting the Dots
With so many use cases and applications in digital pathology, how do we connect the dots and make it all work?
Dr. Anil Parwani is Professor of Pathology at The Ohio State University, Vice chair of Pathology and Head of Anatomic Pathology. He is the newly elected president of the Digital Pathology Association (DPA).
We will talk about some of the ways to increase adoption and possible use cases for digital pathology. We will examine how algorithms and AI tools might help and what will be the role of pathologists if these algorithms work as promised. We will also look at some of the barriers to adoption including interoperability and storage.

Episode 24 - Hamid Tizhoosh, PhD - What is AI?
Our guest is Professor Hamid Tizhoosh, the director of the KIMIA Lab (Laboratory for Knowledge Inference in Medical Image Analysis) at the University of Waterloo.
We've all heard the hype about Artificial Intelligence (AI), but what exactly is AI?
In this episode, we will examine some examples of AI in everyday life. We will discuss the current and future applications of artificial intelligence in digital pathology and image analysis, the "ethics" of artificial intelligence, and why the pathologist will not be replaced anytime soon.
